Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying:
'You (i.e. Muslims) will fight against
the Jews and you will gain victory over them. The stones will (betray them) saying: 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'
This Hadith was reported by
Al-Bukhari.
It was also reported on the authority of
Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
"The Jews will fight against you and you will gain victory over them, till the stone says: 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'"

Ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that he heard (Part No. 3; Page No. 132) the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying:
"The Antichrist will pass by this salty barren area i.e. Madinah, in a passage of a canal. Most of those who will come out to him will be women so that a man will return to his intimate wife, mother, daughter, sister or aunt to tie them up for fear that they might go out to him. Then, Allah will afflict him with Muslims who kill him and his followers and the Jews will hide behind a tree or a rock and the rock or the tree will say to the Muslim: There is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!"
This Hadith was reported by
Ahmad in his Musnad.
